The Committee:

To date we have supported our community by:
Supporting the LGBTQI+ community
- Our staff wear pride uniforms to show our support of the LGBTQI+ community

Indigenous Engagement

The plan sets out how the project aims to develop a diverse and inclusive workforce and supply chain by increasing Aboriginal participation through targeted programs
Philanthropy
As Supporting Partners of Red Kite (Australia’s leading childhood cancer support charity) we provide financial support to RedKite which is distributed towards their most urgent areas. These are funds for families under financial strain as a result of their child being diagnosed with cancer, bereavement and counselling support or programs such as music therapy delivered at hospital.
With a calendar of activations that MASG and Red Kite share, the MASG staff also participate in volunteering opportunities as well as ongoing fundraising activities for Red Kite.
